The committee refused the application in January due to the development lying outside the "settlement boundary of Keadby where development is restricted to that which is essential to the functioning of agricultural or forestry enterprise."

Councillor John Briggs, who spoke against the previous application, said it was like "deja vu" to have the application back in front of the committee.

"I am very pleased to speak again on this application," he said.

"It took us six years to arrive at some development boundaries for this region.

"This is outside the development boundary in this area."

Cllr Briggs, whose ward the application fell within, said his ward needs more jobs and that the site should be used for economic development.

"I cannot think of a site that does not look like it is needed for housing," he said.

The planning committee rejected the application on the grounds that it was inappropriate development and that it is outside the development boundary for the area.
